Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology translation of mRNA for yeast glycyl-tRNA synthetase is alternatively initiated from UUG and a downstream AUG initiation codon. Unlike an AUG initiation codon, efficiency of this non-AUG initiation codon is significantly affected by its sequence context, in particular the nucleotides at positions -3 to -1 relative to the initiation codon. A/A/R (R: A or G) and C/G/C appear to be the most and least favorable sequences at these positions, respectively. Mutation of the native context sequence -3 to -1 from AAA to CGC reduce translation initiation from the UUG codon up to 32fold and resulted in loss of mitochondrial respiration Saccharomyces cerevisiae
